This is definitely the vibe I’m going for in my own home. I love how lettuceware looks when it’s layered with these more simple pink and white plates, too – it keeps it from feeling too campy.
These Bordallo Pinheiro plates are a welcome surprise when you approach the table – they’re perfect for a party but casual enough for daily use, too. Photos by david land | via one kings lane I’m really gambling here, friends!) Since my word can only go so far, let’s look at some inspo, yeah? I guarantee you’ll see at least a few bowls shaped like not-bowls or plates shaped like not-plates. I’m willing to take a huge risk to prove it: go open Chairish, and check out the New Arrivals page. See, a lot of these things never actually went out of style – lettuceware, majolica, and ceramic dinnerware are classics for a reason – but I really feel like they’re picking up steam in a way that we haven’t seen before. (Even if that experience is them driving home being like, “woah, why is every surface in her home covered in vintage painted ceramics? She does know that she can just buy a regular pitcher, right?”)Īs it turns out, though…I don’t actually think it’s just me. You are worth it.”Īnd not to get too sentimental over my new/old bowls shaped like cabbage leaves and a cookie jar that looks like a lamb – I know they’re no grandmother’s china or crystal dinnerware – but I think there’s really something here, you know? After all this time dining by myself, I’m SO looking forward to delivering a fun experience for the folks who visit my home. Life is too short to not use your very best stuff. Take the time, especially for supper, and dust off your grandmother’s china and use the nice crystal serving ware. If you come over for dinner at my place and there are paper napkins and no candlelight, you better eat and run because clearly I’m not your fan. But this whole identity crisis really got me thinking about something Erik said in his dining room reveal about a year ago: “Dressing the table is my love language and it really shows who you are dining with how important that time together is. See, I’ve been lusting after true antique furniture pieces lately – please throw all your tiger oak and marquetry and cabriole legs my way – but the vintage decor pieces I’ve actually been buying exist in a WHOOOLE other kitschy, fun, whimsy universe. And like…who wouldn’t enjoy using Pierre the Sommelier to open up a bottle of wine? (Please don’t actually answer that if you hate him – my ego is fragile. Do I need to drink out of a glass shaped like a waffle cone? Apparently, the answer is ABSOLUTELY. The past year and a half has broken me, and now the only thing that can make me feel joy are 1950s lamps shaped like poodles made out of broccoli and 1960s soup tureens shaped like rabbits made out of cabbage. We photoshopped a few of my latest vintage buys together – maybe you can take a peek and then hit me with your diagnosis, yeah?īecause guys, here’s my initial diagnosis: I’VE LOST IT. Historically, I’ve been a little early to new trends, but this one may just be a little too left field (even for me). Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 10 responses to interview Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 87 responses to interview The female resume got 870% more responses.Have you ever looked at a pile of your recent purchases and been like, “uh…wait…am I okay?” Because that’s been my internal monologue recently, and I’d like to talk about it. Sometimes the male went first, sometimes the female went first. Made a fake resume, and responded to craigslist ads with both male and female names.
So then I thought "what about someone looking for working class jobs?" So I decided to focus on restaurants- servers, hosting, etc. Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 45 responses to interview The female resume was 650% more likely to get a callback. Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 7 responses for interview. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or few days before) with a female name. So I took my CV and changed the name to a female name. It's MUCH better being a woman So I did an experiment, I work in CS and decided to test what the gender bias is. 29.7K 1.3K sent 100 applications as a man and a woman.
